Agaat
In hierdie roman oor plaasvroue, aangewese op mekaar in nood en behoefte, gee die skrywer 'n ontstemmende blik op 'n halfeeu se Afrikaanse landskap, soos gekenmerk deur ontwrigte, verminkte menslikheid maar ook deur nooitaflatende hoop. Haar evokatiewe beelding van die lotgevalle op die plaas Grootmoedersdrift, ondersoek – op 'n uitdagende wyse – nie net die mens se ekologiese verwantskap met die grond nie, maar ook sy etiese verantwoordelikheid. Die uiterste grensgebiede van intimiteit word verken. Hoe word daar afskeid geneem en gesterwe? Deur watter soort genade? Wat is die ware aard van wat mens so maklik "liefde" en "sorg" noem?

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
